Re: Slow Speeds Xbox one Extreme Package

It's also possible the mac is sucking up all bandwidth, you need to set QOS restrictions on it to only use 50% of the total bandwidth.

Faster speeds mean next to nothing after 15-20 megs per device, you won't get anything downloaded to you faster than that and game playing becomes erratic as data comes in via random bursts rather than at a steady and stable stream.

Re: Slow Speeds Xbox one Extreme Package

Hey Everyone have the extreme Package 300mbps But getting faster than that speeds at times by every other device besides the xbox one

Get 330 mbps on my macbook in the same room all wireless.

Router is Model:TC8715D

Getting max 44 mbps On the xbox one after changing the dns to google dns Before the dns change it was 13mbps

I was told by my tech that The reason is time warner has caps on the router to limit the speeds.

Has anyone found a work around for this Or will buying a new router be my only option?

The TC8715D router that you rent from TWC has dual-band WiFi supporting 802.11 b/g/n on 2.4 GHz and 802.11 ac on 5 GHz. Your Xbox and every other wireless device has to match those specs for you to get faster data over WiFi. Or you can [should] use a wired connection between the Xbox and router. It only takes one G-only device on 2.4 GHz to slow down everything on that band to 54 Mbps. On 5 GHz a single non-AC device slows all communications on that band to just 135 Mbps.

TWC limits your router's DS and US data so you can't send data faster than the speeds you are paying them for and flood their network. You wouldn't like the congestion if everyone was running 300 Mbps, and the network is not able to support that traffic demand.

Changing your DNS means your router has no list of addresses for routing traffic within TWC's transport network, since Google doesn't care about or see inside TWC's data pipes. You are only getting an optimized route in the cloud, avoiding some previously discovered pinch points within various IXP's infrastructure.
